The story of young Nawbin as they leave home and set out on a rites of passage through a season of their life. Their journey along the water to discover their truth and way back to themselves and ancestral knowledge. Along the way they discover unexpected friends, weather storms, and gain a canoe! Through the use of puppetry, traditional Anishinaabe lifeways, and multimedia design, Skeleton Canoe makes known what is just below the water’s surface. A work-in-progress showing presented by All My Relations Collective and the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival.
Collaborators: Ty Defoe, Katherine Freer, Mark Denning, Lux Haac, Emma Deane, Oliva Shortt, Katrina Brown Akootchook, Kris Waymire, Blair Thomas, Kevin Finney, Maggie Finney, Angus Bush, Jenna Wood, Jae Vega, Amanda Sayed, Ari Berk
